I bought this car off eBay and it needed a whole lot of work. However, I have the correct parts and the experience of owning this make, model and year Thunderbird since 1971. I am a vet and the 1967 ForDor Thunderbird was my first car. Up to now, I have not done a lot of work to the engine. I got it running by putting on a good carb, electronic ignition, wires, replacing the radiator and a lot of small stuff. The exhaust manifold had a crack in it and the bolts connecting the manifolds to the heads were fused from years of neglect. Once the transmission was replaced, I started making preparation for my ultimate period correct 428 Cobra Jet build. The engine in this car was in need of attention, but the engine’s condition after I corrected what I found wrong, was very good. So I decided to repair it; but in a way that it could be pulled and the Cobra Jet replacement would install exactly the same. It sort of serves as a mach up! I will keep it as a spare. So please watch to see how I re-assemble what you saw taken apart. This is my first time making a video like this…quick!
I hope some of you can get inspired to do something like this for yourself. I am thankful to GOD for allowing me a chance to tell you how Awesome HE IS! HE will give you the desires of your heart if you put HIM First. Amen! May HE get all the Glory and Honor! Please look for more post of this project. The engine at the end is powder coated with all the original bolts chrome plated. Everything in and on the engine is standard spec. Find that today!
